Henley Royal Regatta

Congratulations to our team of six rowers: Mia Booth (Year 11), Jessica Colbran (Year 12), Megan Wood (Year 11), Tilly Morgan (Year 12), Skye Pockley (Year 11) and Alessandra Braysich (Year 11), who visited the United Kingdom recently to represent Pymble at Henley Royal Regatta, one of the world’s toughest regattas.

‘Henley Royal’ is visited by more than 300,000 people each year, who come to watch six days of elite competition in over 300+ races in knock-out style racing. Mia, Jessica, Megan and Tilly displayed tremendous bravery, stepping out of their comfort zone and putting in a solid performance in the Diamond Jubilee Challenge Cup (Junior Women’s Coxless Quad). Congratulations to the Double crew of Alessandra Braysich and Skye Pockley, who won the Open Women’s Doubles at the Reading Town Regatta, racing with great determination and skill.
